Osman,

Which solver do you need to create the cylindrical rigid wall for?

See step 8 here to do this for RADIOSS

Hello Rahul,

I use Radioss (bulk data format). My task is to simulate a composite plate that bend over a rigid cylinder. But the cylinder must not deform and move.

Thanks for you help.

Osman,

I see that you can use the RWALL card, see - Altair OptiStruct > Reference Guide > Input Data > Bulk Data Section > RWALL

This can be created from Analysis > rigid wall within HyperMesh.

See - HyperWorks Desktop Applications > HyperMesh > User's Guide > HyperMesh Panels > HyperMesh Panels Listed Alphabetically:
